Application filed May 14, 1901. Serial No. 60.143. (No model.)

trate offerings being designated on separable parts of the envelop, each offerin g being sealed in its separable part, so that each offering may be applied as intended, and the precise improvementwill be pointed out in the claim hereto appended in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows a blank paper with its lines of gum and of separation by which a twin envelop is formed, each separable part having printed thereon the purpose of the separate offerings. Fig. 2 shows the envelop with the side folds or overlaps sealed. Fig. 3 shows the twin envelop with its side and end iiies or folds sealed to close the separable twin parts. Fig. 4 shows in section the closed separable twin parts, each part containing an offering. Fig. 5 shows the envelop with a surface separable line and the printing thereon indicating the purpose of the offerings. Y

The blank is produced with two side an two end ilies or fold parts similar to an ordinary envelop, each end fold 1 havingitsedge gummed, one of the side folds 2 having its edge gummed. Crossing mediately the side folds is a gummed line 3, whereby whenvfthe side folds are closed and sealed the envelop is formed into twin parts 4c and 5, each part being closed at the gummed line 3 and provided with an end fold, so that each twin part will form a complete envelop. An external transverse line indicates the middle of the width of the transverse gummed line 3 as the point at which the twin parts may be separated, with each part int-act as a closure for what it contains after the end folds are sealed.

The transverse gummed line 3 preferably extends across each side fold and is wide enough to allow each end part to be closed when the parts are separated, as shown by dotted lines G G in Fig. 2. This separable mark may be a weakened surface line 7, as in Fig. 5, at which the parts may be separated but I prefer that the mark be a line of perforations S, whereby the envelop parts may be separated by tearing. Each part may bear any suitable printed matter, each having the same or a different number. In the example shown the separate envelop parts bear the same number 134, one part having the following printed matter: Weekly offering, First Baptist Church, Milton, Pa., January 15, 1901, and the other part having the months of the year, and for certain months the words Education, Publication society, Foreign missions, Home missions, Loan fund, and State missions are printed, indicating for what the oifering is made. The twin parts of the envelop with their contents having been separated, each part with its contents then becomes an offering for a specific purpose. The side folds being fastened t0- gether at their lapped longitudinal edges at the same time will cause the side folds to be fastened on their inner sidesto the inner side of the body of the envelop along the internal transverse gummed line, thus form.

ing` a double-ended pocket, each having an end closing fold and separable along the transverse gummed line to keep distinct and separate the contents sealed in each part.

I have stated that the folds are provided with gum; but myimprovement comprehends any means of fastening the folds into twin parts and an indicating separable line therefor.

I claim- As a new article of manufacture, a twin envelop folded to provide side laps to form a longitudinal central overlapping gummed seam terminating at the open opposite ends and on the same side of the twin envelop, the inner walls of the side laps gummed in transverse lines lnediately of their length, and in l In testimony whereof I afx my signature folded position, crossing the longitudinallyin presence of two Witnesses. apped seam, and a weakened line crossing said lapping gummed seam mediately of the JACOI) SALLADE' 5 Width of the gummed transverse lines, and Witnesses:
